TLDR plant-based junk food is still junk food.
I find myself wondering why this study happened. Looks like it’s to actually have proof of something we’d assume is true?
a new study authors call “the first” to show ultraprocessed plant foods are associated with an increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
You don’t say
Anything that has ultraprocessed in the name probably isn’t great.
Well yeah, soda is generally fully plant based (corn syrup or sugar cane and water) and everyone knows it's bad for you.
I was about to make the joke "welp, nothing but raw meat is," but honestly I've heard of people eating that way (and I don't mean fresh meat, I mean just Walmart steaks or whatever) and advocate for that kind of diet to others. And that's a great way to end up with brain worms or some shit.
